Small charity. Real growth. Lasting impact.
Each grant is £500, funding life-changing experiences for care-experienced children and young people.
Each grant tells a story:
- “J really enjoyed his young driver lessons. He wants to be in the police and thought learning to drive early would be great.” Opportunities today help shape futures tomorrow.
- “C was desperate to learn piano – on my last visit she played us a song. It was lovely.” When a young person’s passion is supported, confidence can follow.
- “E absolutely loved her trip to Longleat!” New places and new experiences provide a chance to just be a child.
- “The kids had a really nice time. It was nice to get away.” A short break can mean rest, connection and memories that last.
The right opportunity, at the right time, can make a last difference. Find out how you can support EPIC.
